African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, Autograph Collection

My first visit to Johannesburg definitely won’t be my last. At African Pride, the team welcomed me like family. Sherpard & Peter were especially helpful and accommodating, and genuinely lovely people. The spacious, clean rooms were exceptional, and I was happy to find a proper hot bath at a reasonably priced hotel. The gym is well looked after and has the basics for daily exercise. Aduna & Sebule, the two on-site restaurants, serve a wide range of food to suit different dietary restrictions, and the waiters and hosts were excellent. The location is great, with shops, restaurants and businesses nearby, and popular attractions, museums and excursions only a 15-30 minute drive away. One of a kind and worth the price. I recommend it 100000/10.

The place is easy on the eyes, really pleasing aesthetically. We had good food and great service from our waiter Samson. Thanks to the ladies at the door for being so warm and making sure my friend felt special on her birthday.

Melrose Arch has loads of great shops and restaurants, and it felt safe to walk around. At the hotel, both restaurants served great food with good service. The property was modern and clean, and our rooms were comfortable and spacious. Everyone, from the doormen and Front Desk to the restaurant team, was outstanding. Staff interacted naturally and warmly, which made us feel at home. The service and hospitality throughout were exceptional. It’s one of the best hotel stays I’ve had anywhere, and the first time I’ve felt sad to leave. One of the top places to stay in Johannesburg.

I’m here now, wrapping up nearly a week at the hotel, and it’s been one of my best business stays. The service is next level: everyone is so friendly, remembers you, and quickly sorts out whatever you need. It’s perfectly placed in Melrose Arch, with plenty of restaurants and everything easy to reach on foot. I’ll be back.
